Connecticut Art Trail

24 World-Class Museums

Connecticut Art Trail

• Address: Statewide – 23 participating museums and historic sites
• Website: www.ctarttrail.org

Overview:
Think of the Connecticut Art Trail like a choose-your-own-adventure for art lovers. It connects 23 museums, galleries, and historic homes across the state—from big names like the Wadsworth and Yale to quieter, tucked-away spots you might never stumble on otherwise.

Why It’s Worth a Stop:
One passport gets you into every stop on the trail for a full year, which means you can take your time. Spend an afternoon at a well-known museum, or make a day trip out of visiting one of the smaller, lesser-known gems. It’s a fun way to see more of the state—and get your art fix while you’re at it.

What to Know Before You Go:
• The passport is $35 and good for one year.
• You can buy it online or at any participating location.
• Each spot has its own hours and vibe—check ahead.
• Makes a great gift or self-guided travel challenge.

Fun Fact:
Some stops on the trail are traditional art museums, but others include artists’ homes, sculpture gardens, and university galleries—so no two visits feel the same.
